RE: 2 servos or a splitter?,
You save a channel and it gives you the ability to switch to another TX easily if you need to.
The only MINOR drawback will be SLIGHT additional power consumption.
I do not know how that particular syncronizer deals with endpoint adjustments, but the TX often permits finer grained control as each servo can be adjusted independantly.
On the better TX's you can also bring mixing curves into play as needed to offset linkage differences.
